Hi. I'm unable to boot because of the problem described in the thread
"HELP!--Won't boot! What's UTMP?". Someone responded to me (thanks,
Jan!) telling me how and where to create the necessary utmp file.
But i'm using a rescue disk for the very first time, and i can't figure
out for the life of me how to mount the hard drive (/dev/hda1) that i
need to access to create this file. The fstab that's loaded from the
rescue disk only has ram, proc, and floppy. There's a command in
/usr/bin called "add-to-fstab", but i get a "permission denied" when i
try to use it.
Could someone tell me how to mount my hard drive in rescue mode? I would
be most grateful.
